Title: The Shadowed Assassin
Pairings: ... Satoshi/Kasumi? More in later chapters when they tell me.
Spoilers: First three or so seasons of Pokemon, followed loosely
Notes: I barely remember the order of the episodes, I haven't watched past season three, and I'm currently playing one of the games. I really don't like Takeshi, as will be evident in this story. Satoshi is... of unique parentage given that we only know his mom, which leaves his dad completely open for speculation. And as a side note Satoshi and co. age faster, he's now fifteen in this.
Warnings: Some character death, this is about an assasin. If you like Takeshi, don't read. Japanese to English for the names will be at the bottom.
Disclaimer: Pokemon does not belong to me, any character that seems familiar is not mine.
As Satoshi, Kasumi, and Takeshi walk past an alley Satoshi hears a faint whimpering. He stops and peers into the darker area. "Satoshi?" Kasumi asks when the other two notice he wasn't with them.
"Go on to the Pokemon Center, guys. Take care of Pikachu for me. I need to check something out. Pikachu needs to be seen by Nurse Joy and I have a few here, so I'll be fine," Satoshi smiles at the two.
Takeshi smiles back, "Alright. We'll meet for dinner then?"
Kasumi and Satoshi grin and nod. The rock man and water girl continue on to the Pokemon Center. The teen left at the entrance of the alley lets his smile fall off his face as he turns and walks quietly into the alley. He follows the whimpering and grimaces when he begins to find spots of green blood on the ground. Green probably means bug or grass type, hard to make them bleed and harder to fix them... damnit.
The pokémon trainer slips deeper and deeper into the maze of alleys. His frown deepens when he realizes he can no longer see the main roads. When the amount of light in the alley abruptly darkens and he can't see any clouds in the sky between the buildings... It was too early for sunset, being midsummer, so he stops and listens. There was no whimpering, but he'd been hearing them before the darkness. Satoshi finally listens to his danger sense. He backs up, but realizes he's a bit too late as one strong arm wraps around his chest and another puts a cloth with chloroform over his nose and mouth.
Kasumi and Pikachu start worrying when Satoshi doesn't meet them in the Pokemon Center for dinner. Takeshi shrugs and says, "He likely got caught up rescuing whatever caught his attention on that alley. You know how he is."
Kasumi frowns, but nods, "I guess..."
"Come on, I heard about a place that serves pretty good food for both pokémon and trainers. We'll check it out tonight and, if it's any good, we'll take more of the pokémon and Satoshi there for breakfast/lunch. How's that sound?"
"Okay... sounds like a plan... Pikachu?"
The yellow mouse nods sadly and mutters, "Pikapi..."
